I'm trying to make a settlement

I've mentioned a few times how much I like gaming (gaming not gambling!). I have a bit of a Settlers obsession but it's never for a constant daily, weekly or even monthly stretch. I'll suddenly just get the need to play it and I will. The computer version is my most played game and I have been known to play it at all hours and even have it playing in the background when I'm messing on the computer with Facebook, twitter etc.

Music Monday: Young the Giant

You may not have heard of them just yet but Young the Giant are set to be big. Really big. This American rock band formed in California were originally called The Jakes. Their debut album has received some solid reviews and the band have spent the last year plus touring. In fact they must like touring so much that just as they were getting to the end of their scheduled dates they added more.

Weekly Loves

A friend popped over for a cuppa and a chat and she brought along these. They didn't last long....

So where has all that sunshine that April gave us gone? That said most of my plants are currently growing at a quick rate, my courgette, peppers and tomatoes and well on their way. I've got the lovely job of cleaning out our water butt of leaves this weekend. How rock n roll is that?

A complaint and an executive decision

Jamie Redknapp modelling for M&S
